Empowering New Mexico’s Foster Youth

Sometimes the truth hurts…but there is hope.

At any given moment, there are over 2,000 children and youth in the custody of the New Mexico Children Youth and Families Department (CYFD) due to abuse and neglect. In hundreds of cases, the courts decide they cannot safely return home. If there is no adoptive family identified, they stay in foster care until CYFD finds a family for them or they "age out" of the system at age 18. The Heart Gallery of New Mexico Foundation (HGNMF) focuses on these "hard-to-place" and at-risk foster children.
